Credit where it's due, weren't many people come past me when I used to get a shift on but Northern Irish plates and people doing some unofficial practice / set up on race bikes! That could only happen at the IOM that's why I love it so much!! ;)f

Have seen lots of video clips of Joey and Robert and others doing the same thing in NI many years ago anyone see this happening?

It was common practice here, I (and a few others) used to set our race bikes up in the local industrial estate...... It had a link road that ran right around it and one part had a half mile straight, perfect for plug chops.....

What a trip, had a great time IOM is some place at TT week, it's got to be a must for anyone into bikes. But the icing on the cake for me was my rebuilt RD didn't miss a beat, even on the all night run in the pouring rain from Liverpool ferry to Beauly, must have done about 1000 miles on the trip quite a few of them in the power band ;-)

Good to hear! You did well with that rebuild so, hats off for that as well!
